Disney, ESPN reportedly working on “The Bubble” documentary on 2020 NBA playoffs

It’s been almost four years since the Lakers won the memorable 2020 NBA championship in the bubble and a documentary on those playoffs could potentially be on the way.

Time is a construct.

Believe it or not, we are nearly four years removed from the Los Angeles Lakers, conquering "The Bubble" and beating the Miami Heat en route to their 2020 title.

To say the height of the pandemic back then was unprecedented times would be an understatement. In a capitalistic society where nothing stops for anyone or anything, America stood still.

Creating "The Bubble" was a massive task for the NBA, but they completed it and found a way to restart and save the season.

Yes, there were much bigger, more critical issues to address at that time. Still, if sports are a sociological aspect of our world that matters, then figuring out how to have it in our lives is a step towards normalcy we all embrace.

Given how big of a moment this was and the multifaceted layers that make it an interesting story beyond "team beat another team," Disney and ESPN are reportedly developing a documentary on "The Bubble.”

It may seem too soon to have a documentary on this, but it's never too soon. Most people who experienced this and were involved in this process are still around and have plenty of firsthand accounts, videos, pictures, etc.

You want to document and get these stories told now instead of waiting for decades and having the challenge of gathering the information and hunting down sources.

If you want a sense of how the 2020 season went down, there are already some pretty good resources, including Ben Goliver's book "Bubble Ball" and JaVale McGee's "Life in the Bubble" vlog series.

With ESPN's resources, they can undoubtedly make a stellar documentary about this moment in time if they cover everything known and unknown about "The Bubble." Also, given that the bubble took place on Disney property, you can expect some access there as well.

For Lakers fans, watching the best version of LeBron James and Anthony Davis surrounded by a great core of players like Alex Caruso, Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should bring that old feeling back.

That team was exceptional and given the state of the world then, they never got their parade or time to truly celebrate their championship. It was the shortest offseason ever, just 72 days between the end of the 2020 NBA Finals and the start of the next season.

Hopefully, this documentary will be a good moment for Lakers fans to enjoy and celebrate their title. Something also tells me the Los Angeles Clippers will make an appearance and watching their collapse again will be a moment I certainly will not miss.
